I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
According to a report from Vooks, it appears as if physical versions of “Switch 2 Enhanced” games will contain the full game and its upgrades on the same cartridge. This follows after a Nintendo UK rep stated otherwise. It’s safe to say that Nintendo has mostly botched the messaging around…
Booting up my Nintendo Switch to play Croc for the first time since I was a kid playing it on my PlayStation yielded largely the same results as it did in the ’90s. By World 3’s desert, I was dying repeatedly to seemingly endless pits, cursing out the lantern level…

We’ve seen a lot of games like Star of Providence in the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan. Buzzwords like “roguelite,” “top-down,” “dungeon-crawler,” and “twin-stick shooter” are all commonalities when it comes to a listing on the hybrid console’s eShop. Some have been legitimate hits like Enter The Gungeon and Nuclear Throne. Others…
In our modern time of multiplatform gaming and a decrease in console exclusivity, sometimes it’s undeniable that a game from one system would fit better on another. Take Mario Kart 8’s jump from Wii U to Nintendo Switch as a prime example. A great Wii U game with less eyes…
I consider myself to be a pretty big fighting game fan. I’ve been actively following the genre since I first played Tekken on PlayStation as a child. Since 2017, however, my console of choice has been the Nintendo Switch and, as a fighting gamer, things haven’t been too hot. While…
We’re already three weeks into the new year and I have a prediction: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be the best Crash Bandicoot game I play in 2025. Now I can picture you turning your head and cocking it to one side in disbelief but hear me out. DK…
I’ve made no secret of my fondness for Bandai Namco’s Tales of series. Like many Nintendo fans of the time, that came courtesy of the Gamecube’s Tales of Symphonia. Its cast of characters, subversive story, and active combat system endeared the franchise to fans in the West for the first…
I love arcade racing games. I still shout “OH NO, A TORNADO!” an exclamation from the announcer in Cruis’n Blast on the Death Valley track, like it’s a quote from a so-bad-it’s-good action movie. It’s practically an unwritten rule that every good arcade racer has at least one ubiquitous announcer…
The average Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers episode had about ten minutes of fighting in a 30 minute episode. Ask anyone who was glued to their television as kids (or even adults… like me) and they’ll tell you that was more than enough time to justify tuning in every week. Perhaps…
Please note that this review is of the Steam build of Antonblast. The review will be updated with details on the performance of the Nintendo Switch version of the game when it drops later this month. As a kid, it was instilled in me pretty early on that…
The long-awaited HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III is just around the corner, bringing the RPG classic to a new age with a brand-new look. In the wake of our first hands-on and our preview, I’ve been plugging away at Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake with my merry band of…
You’re on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin in a princess. You’re here to slay her. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world. As you play through Slay the Princess…
